theaters are expensive and sitting around watching "tee vee" grates on my nerves (although I can get caught up in ANYTHING if it is on in my presence)

not to say there aren't a bunch I want to see, I just hate giving up the time for it.

... to see the "funniest movie that no one has seen", try "Stars and Bars". Hilarious, bizarre characters
and NO ONE says grace prior to a meal better than Spalding Gray (that little scene alone is worth sitting
still for a movie -- though the rest is very funny, too).
.
Poor Daniel Day Lewis. He has the scrawniest ass of any actor in film history and I SWEAR it was in
every one of his early contracts that he display that pathetic heinie.

I always thought Stallone could have been picking up the Robert Mitchum-type roles as he got a little older and this is a good example.

Far above anything else he has ever done.
